List-
The Carrollton Show is rather informal, but well done. I have attended most
years and enjoy the Scottish atmosphere. If your spouse is not as interested
in the cars as you, the festival atmosphere is a good diversion.
The voting on the cars is by "people's choice," and is usually completed
before too late in the afternoon. I recommend it.
